I think just maybe, I'm crazy

I decided last night it was going to be a good idea for me to start sewing my own clothes.

Just on a whim.

I then decided a dress is the place to start. (My cousin-in-law is getting married in a month or so.)

So today I borrowed my mother-in-law's sewing machine, bought some fabric,

a pattern, some thread, and fabric cutting scissors.

I'll keep updating as it goes on, we'll see where this ends up.

*Oh birds. They are so pro.

Read this and this!

It's what a gentlemen would do!

I Found It

I'm going to let you in on a tiny secret about myself. I really really like fall, I won't say love because I'm not sure I'm that comfortable with our relationship yet. I really really like the colors, the chilliness, the smell, Halloween, the clothes, pumpkins; I really really like everything about fall, except that it's a precursor to the dreaded winter...

And here we are on the brink of it and of course I'm ogling all the fall clothes like a schoolgirl ogling textbooks.

That's what they ogle right?

So, in all the ogle I've been doing, I've found it! Finally, after years of searching and I mean years, it is here I've seen it and am ready to purchase it!

The perfect coat.

Right, right?

Perfect and it only took me 27 years to find.

*It's from the Land's End Canvas collection

On a side note to this perfect coat rant nonsense.

Whenever I go to type in tags if the letters are from tags I've typed before it automatically pops up.

I can't get it to not auto fill in, the only solution I've come up with is to hit the space bar a bunch of times until it quits.

Weird.

Labor Day

I was in New Jersey for Labor Day. It was sweet. My family was there.

And a Pepper.

And some babies!

I also got to go to the beach for the only time this summer.

It still counts right?

We'd go more except for the fact that it's so far away.

Also Pepper hates the beach.

That's him hating the beach. Love.

Goings On

Our bathroom paint is peeling. It's because our upstairs neighbors have a leak somewhere. We live in an apartment so it's not really our problem, except for the intense and ever present fear that the ceiling is going to collapse in on our heads as we shower.

I think I'm most worried about being buried alive naked, it's life threateningly sensual.

I've decided it's important to take my camera with me everywhere.

I'll probably look like a pretentious tool hauling my camera through the grocery store, but so be it.

Maybe to justify said decision, I'll document all the things I do.

These will make for very short posts.

Child Labor

I forced my sister outside this weekend so I could take some pictures of her.

I'm exaggerating about the child labor of course, she's nearly five plenty old enough to be out in the working world.

I think the lines I use to separate the different sections of my posts change everytime.

I need to sit down and write one of these. -via LobotoME

If I remember...that's always a problem.

Fickle

Blogger/Blogspot whatever this place is, is so fickle.

I type this --> www.blogspot.com into my URL bar. The first time it always throws an error at me.

Today it couldn't connect me to the site because my cookies weren't enabled.

Refresh.

Oh nevermind, it's all good.

Weird.

So I'm just now, approximately a year later, starting to shoot in RAW.

I tried before, but was then thwarted by my Photoshop. Also I can't see the pretty thumbnails in the folder and I get sad...

So being the persistent person that I am, promptly gave up. So here I am.

Probs 5 months later I've decided to try again with a little more effort. I'll let you know how it goes!

Dilemma

I'm all kinds of confused.

Not quite sure what I want to do with myself.

That's what happens when you have all sorts of time in the day.

- -- - -- - -- -

I'm going back to school, but only for a couple classes. Mainly so my two previous years at college won't be a waste. Business=boring.

I want to be a photojournalist, but I'm not sure about how to get there. It's frustrating.

I also want to be an anthropologist, a doctor, and an elephant. So you see my dilemma.

I just want to know, if someone could just let me know that would be great.

Neon Trees stole my heart.

Go let them steal yours too.

Musikfest 2010- Bethlehem, PA

He's my favorite.

I also have decided that a piano made from bells is now an instrument I need.

It's very important.

I've been assisting some photographers and applying other places, but nothing seems to be going anywhere. It's discouraging.

Valentine's Day...was yesterday

Valentine's Day is for suckers!

Suckers in love! <3

I hope you are all in love with something or someone.

Pictures!

Some pictures from the world.
